Lyrics

Five little turkeys standing in a row. (Hold up 5 fingers)
First little turkey said, I don't want to grow. (Hold up 1 finger)
Second little turkey said, Why do you say that? (Hold up 2 fingers)
Third little turkey said, I want to get fat. (Hold up 3 fingers)
Fourth little turkey said, Thanksgiving is near. (Hold up 4 fingers)
Fifth little turkey said, Yes, that's what I hear. (Hold up 5 fingers)
Then the five little turkeys that were standing in a row,
All said together, Come on, let's go! (Move fingers like they're running away).

Information About 5 Little Turkeys

5 Little Turkeys is a song that is set to the tune of the song Five Little Ducks. Of course, it is a song that is going to be sung more during the Thanksgiving holidays. You will need five children to dress up as the little turkeys. Then while the children are singing the song, they can act out all of the movements that go along with the song. Plus the children are going to be learning how to count while they are singing the song. This is because the children are going to be using their hands to show the turkeys.

The song starts to count down from five turkeys and gives a warning to the last of the turkeys to run for its life or else it will be cooked for the Thanksgiving feast.
